FP51 is the rear AC/cabin filter (hybrid only) and should be replaced every 10-20k miles.
Today I hit 70k miles so I replaced the rear cabin air filter (for the battery cooling A/C system). The old filter looked ok, not too dirty. As I mentioned back in May (Replaced Air Filters), replacing the rear air filter in the hybrid Escape is probably the easiest maintenance job you will ever do. I swear it's even easier than putting gas in the car.
The local Ford dealer quoted $75 to replace this filter, but Amazon is currently selling them for $15 with free shipping. It takes about a minute to install, no tools required, and it's all interior so you won't even get your hands dirty.
